There is a lot more we'd like to tell about our time at Casa Hogar, only some of which we can post here. Recently, some orphanages in Mexico where children have access to the Good News have been under intense scrutiny by the government. Some have been closed down. The government has been watching Casa Hogar closely in the last months.

It's also difficult for Casa Hogar to maintain integrity under pressure from a corrupt government. Recently a government official wanted to take a girl from Casa Hogar as a "gift" without paperwork. Since they love the children, Casa Hogar leadership put their necks on the line by refusing this request. Thankfully this did not lead to the closure of Casa Hogar.

If Casa Hogar had been shut down some of the kids might be sent back to their parents. Given what has been done to them by their families, this would be bad. We pray they can remain open.
